Daniel Green spoke to IPE Real Assets to discuss the demand-supply imbalance in the purpose- built student accommodation (PBSA) sector.

It will deliver best-in-class student accommodation, surrounded by shops, cafes, restaurants and bars, that also improves the public and community space around it.

Fundamentally, unless a major shift occurs to disrupt the UK higher education sector, PBSA assets will continue to be a reliable and deeply attractive proposition in 2024.

UK Commercial Property REIT Limited (“UKCM” or the “Company”) (FTSE 250, LSE: UKCM) announces that it has sold its 67,000 sq ft office building in Temple Quay, Bristol, to Tri7.

Designed by architects Costorphine & Wright, Tri7 and Fusion Group will target a BREEAM Outstanding and the PBSA building aims to achieve a 41% betterment over Building Regulations Part L.

Our vision for this new scheme, crafted through comprehensive community engagement, will establish beautiful new homes for students in Loughborough.

Bed-led assets will continue to be the most attractive in terms of real return generation, and our focus will be on PBSA and BTR opportunities in city centres.

Tri7, the specialist UK value-add real estate investment and asset management firm, has acquired The Portswood Shopping Centre in Southampton for c. £10m from a private investor.

It’s absolutely the case that sentiment towards the living sector still seems to be the strongest and most sought-after investment in the real estate world.

As our new environment of generally higher interest rates takes hold, there should be opportunities from distressed vendors.
